Hello My car is 2010 E92 M3 Alpine Edition.

it came with 10mm lower than stock ones

and previous owner said it touches fender liner because of that.

is this true? or is there anything I can do to make it fit well and not rubbing on it?

it seems not right that stock car rubs on fender liners

and it's just on the left side of the car

any thoughts?

Stock wheels, no spacers, and 245 tires up front? It shouldn't rub if everything is stock.

Maybe the brace that the two plastic nuts secure to the arch plastic is bent towards the tire?it's aluminum and could be bent back or replaced. I'm lowered pretty low with spacers and my rubbing is at full lock only when entering inclined driveways. What you are showing is either an arch plastic pushed back from a bent bracket or misaligned bumper or f'd up suspension. I doubt the suspension damage thing because you would perceive this while driving. I would take the arch out as well as check my bumper. Maybe someone backed into you in a parking lot and things got pushed around? If this is the case check that headlights mounts. They're plastic and if they break you will have shaky lights at night.

hmm yes what I can tell is suspension is okay
I've heard that there was an accident at the front of the car. not too big but minor ones.
headlights are fine but the bumper is mounted a little bit lower than it should!
I should go to a mechanic or dealer to check this out soon...
thanks!

I found that front tire size was 245/40/19 !

I know stock is 245/35/19

could this be a problem?

Yes this is likely the cause of the rubbing.

Yes, your front tire is too tall.
